Context: God makes covenant promise to David [Beloved] to establish his house forever and that Messiah will be established on David’s throne. David [Beloved] is humble in his reply. (1 Chr 17:7-27)
 
1 [a] Why do the nations rage, [b]
and the peoples plot a vain thing?
2 [c] [d] The kings of the earth [e] take a stand,
and the rulers take counsel together,
against Adonai , and against † MP: To possess the title of “Anointed One,” literally Mashiach - “Messiah”. (Acts 2:27-28) his Anointed, [g] saying,
3 “Let’s break their bonds apart,
and cast their cords from us.”
4 He who sits in the heavens will laugh.
The Lord will have them in derision.
5 Then he will speak to them in his anger,
and terrify them in his wrath:
6 [h] [i] “Yet I have set [j] my King on my holy hill of Zion [Mountain ridge, Marking].” [k]
7 I will tell of the statute.
Adonai said to me, [l] “You are my son.
Today I have become your father. * MP: Messiah is the Ben-Elohim ·Son of Elohim God·. (See also 2 Sam 7:12-14; 1 Chr 17:13-15). (Luke 1:35; John 10:36; Acts 13:30-33)
8 [n] Ask of me, and I will give the nations for your inheritance,
[o] the uttermost parts of the earth for your possession.
9 You shall break them with a rod of iron.
You shall dash them in pieces like pottery.” [p]
10 Now therefore be wise, you kings.
Be instructed, you judges of the earth.
11 Abad ·Serve· Adonai with fear,
and rejoice with trembling. [q]
12 [r] Kiss the Son, [s] [t] lest he be angry, and you perish on the way,
for his wrath will soon be kindled.
Blessed are all those who take refuge in him.
